On "The Luxury Gap" from 1983, Heaven 17 made tremendous strides in production and arrangement from their 1st album. Honestly, a little bit of the soul of the band was lost in the process, but this record still sounds great. It has some of their best work, "Let Me Go", which is probably their best known song in the US. "Temptation" is their biggest UK hit and thanks to guest vocalist Carol Kenyon sounds nothing like the rest of the album. With this album the band moved firmly away from the techno-pop / synth-pop that the Human League had embraced and turned into UK soul-funk-r'n'b. But in their own style. Every track on here is catchy yet quirky. Have fun with it ;)
